A woodcut reduction of Braun & Hogenburg’s plan of London. It is NOT RECORDED by Darlington and Howgego in their carto-bibliography of London plans. Adrien Romain (1561-1615) was born in Louvain in 1561 and became a noted mathematician, physician and priest. In 1595 he published the first edition of ‘Parvum Theatrum Urbium sive Urbium Praecipuarum’ a collection of town plans and birds’-eye views derived from Braun & Hogenberg’s ‘Civitates Orbis Terrarum’ first issued in 1572. Here they are considerably reduced in size. A second edition appeared in 1608. Not in Darlington & Howgego (1964) no. 4; not in Fordham MCC ‘Town Plans of the British Isles’; Phillips LC 65; Sabin 73000; Shirley BL T.Rom 1a no. 2; Tooley’s Dictionary.
